The process of water infiltration into soil provides the soil and groundwater with water. It also affects runoff formation and soil loss. When the soil of a site is homogeneous, the infiltration characteristics of its surface layer depend on the vegetation cover and human activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the hydro-physical properties which affect infiltration into the soil surface layer at Snoubar Jableh Plantation Site (Lattakia). This is in order to illustrate the impact of vegetal cover and human activity on infiltration characteristics of soil. For this purpose, 20 field infiltration experiments using a single ring were conducted on patches of coniferous and broad-leaved trees. The results indicate that the soil has good infiltration characteristics, except in the oak plot which showed low Ks in comparison with other species plots due to soil compaction and human activity. The results also indicate that the decomposed organic material layer under conifers protect soil against compacting and improve infiltration characteristics.

The site was planted between 1960-1962 year with area size of 33 ha. The plots were systematically sampled with area size of 400 m2. The distance between plots was 100 m. Results showed that: trees number per hectare (N), stand average diameter (db h) and height (H), basal area (G), productivity (V) and average annual growth (A.A.G) were: 237 tree/ha, 34.68 cm, 12 m, 21.91 m2/ha, 137.51 m3/ha and 2.64 m3/ha/year ; respectively. Stand height curve was developed with coefficient of determination of R2=0.50.
The study was achieved in 2014-2015 at Dahr Khribat stone pine forest, Latakia. to determine the factors affecting the natural regeneration of the stand. The results of climate studies indicated that the region is located in the semi-wet climate fl oor with a mild winter as the average of rainfall thermal coefficient reached (Q2 = 72.01). The study showed that the low productivity of cones (20 kg con / tree) was one of the limiting factors of natural regeneration. The trees high density (462 tree / ha), led to a decrease in tree diameter at breast level (30 cm) and low coronary size (320.2 m3). Seed germination was not affected by illumination periods, while salinity levels led to a significant decrease in germination from 90% at control to 19% at 0.5 mol / l. All of one year old sapling or seedling were dead during summer months, while more than 90% of two years old cultivated sapling, survived in all treatments, but no significant differences among them.
This research was carried out during 2014 - 2015. The research aimd to describe some chemical characteristics of the river's water used for irrigation, chemically compare it with the Syrian Standards Specifications in terms of salt quantity and qua lity and Cd and B concentrations, water samples were taken from four observation points along the river: A (domestic), B (industrial), C (mixed) and D (estuary), also Soil samples from the river edges were also analyzed. The findings revealed that the EC value in B was 0.61 mg/l i.e. less than those of others, with significant difference 0.72, 0.74, 0.73 mg/l, respectively. The study also showed a significant increase in B and C concentration by 0.48 and 0.49 mg/l, respectively, compared with A and D by 0.4 mg/l each. A significant increase in Cd concentration was noticed for B, C and D by 0.73, 0.88 and 0.75 mg/l vs. A 0.67 mg/l. However, Cd concentration in the river water in all seasons and sites was excessive and higher than the permissible limit for water discharge into seas estimated at 0.05 mg/l, whereas the other parameters were lower than the permissible limits according to the Syrian Standards. The effect of water pollution on soil showed a significant increase in EC for B by 1.01 dS/m than others. The increase was also more significant in subsurface layer than surface one by 0.45 and 0.62 dS/m, respectively. In addition, the findings demonstrated a significant increase in Cd for C (2.67 mg/kg) than other points. The increase in Cd concentration was more significant in the surface layer (2.648 mg/kg) than the subsurface one (2.631 mg/kg), and this concentration was lower than the normal range of soil content from Cd (3 ppm).
The study was carried out at Soil Research Center in the province of Daraa during 2011 in order to study some physical and moisture characteristics for cinnamon soil, which occupies (48000 km²), equivalent to 26% of the area of the Syrian Arab Rep ublic and represents the cultivation of growing field crops with a rainfall ranges between 150- 300 mm. The results showed that the mechanical analysis for soil referred that its texture is clay with a good ability to retain water, the field capacity rated between (30-38.85)%. The studied soil has high value of available water (38.93mm) and useful water (25.69mm) in the surface layer. The highest value of permanent wilting point and hygroscopic moisture was reached in the final depth in studied profile soil, It was also distinguished a high total porosity ranged between 51.78 and 55.59% with a good air porosity amounted to 9.38 - 15.47 % in different depths and with the decline to 5.51 % in the depth 30 - 45cm.
